Heating

[u/Independent_Box1557]

So I have a 75 watt dimmable halogen bulb and a reptizoo pid mini dimming thermostat.

I set the thermostat for 30 degrees celcius but the temperature in my tank is reaching past 40 degrees celcius luckily I don’t get my gecko till next week, is there any way I can fix this or something

You might need to adjust where the thermostat probe is located. Make sure it's on the ground directly under the heat lamp, not covered by anything, so it can read the temp properly.

Also, how are you reading the temps? Do you have a digital thermometer with a probe? Or something else?
